I was listening to something on the radio today about how with all this electronic data available to us, more and more of our lives are documented and increasingly  we are drowning in data and memories.  We can retrieve snaps from drunken parties taken on our phones, daft emails sent in anger, old letters and […][...] read more » The Art of Forgetting

Last night at 2am the world decided that we needed to change our clocks, and we set them back an hour.  Now I don’t know about you, but I unfailing find this adjustment an unnecessary dislocation in my natural rhythms, not to mention that every blooming thing now has a clock built into it and […][...] read more » A gift of time….

I was out walking in the some beautiful woods in West Sussex today, enjoying the colours of the leaves.  As I walked along, one particular leaf caught my eye as it fluttered to the ground and it got me thinking about the process by which trees shed their leaves.  Once the season changes, and there […][...] read more » The Fall

Some of you know we have just acquired a couple of little heart-stealing kittens, Rambo & Roxie.  In only two weeks they have gone from hiding when we enter the room to rushing to the door each time we go pass hoping that we will come and play.  They basically have have three phases:- Sleeping […][...] read more » Lessons learnt from the kittens

Following on from yesterday’s blog, it turned out that two small pieces of information made all the difference.  A friend told us to test a couple of muscles which were connected with the eyes, and we learnt that the TMJ (the jaw muscle) could also have an impact.  This allowed me to treat her and […][...] read more » Two little pieces
